There are already two ways of viewing this list via NNTP, why do we need
another?

As previously mentioned, gmane.org carries the Fedora lists.  I also go
reminded (thanks to Pete Zaitcev's Blog) that Red Hat also already runs an
NNTP gateway (news://news.redhat.com/).

Anyone wishing to test a "news-to-web" gateway would do well to start
there tests with one of those two.
